Remember

[H2O Man]

69. Okay.

Before we get to the possible "delay," I'm confident that you are on the edge of your seat, wondering about how I do chasing chickens. You may not be aware that I raise Guinea fowl as well. I am aware that there is a scene in the movie "Rocky" of him chasing chickens to improve his footwork. I will go on record, however, as someone who hasbeen associated with the great sport for 60+ years, as someone who has never watched a "Rocky" movie.

More, my adult sons think it is a giggle how their old man -- despite his physical limitations -- can catch chickens and/or Guinea fowl. Now, you might well be thinking I'm being an obnoxious jackass. I often am. But the reason I have spoken of cows, pigs, chickens, and Guinea fowl is because one must use very different tactics for catching each one. If a bull is outside the fence, you use a very different approach than you would to catch a chicken.

Decades ago, one of my uncles was consider by many to be the best detective in the country. He was a legend for his ability to investigate organized crime. He taught classes for both the FBI and CIA in things such as crime scene analysis. You can imagine how hard it was for my brothers and I to but pot as teenagers. But that's another story. As an adult and social worker who frequently was involved in forensic cases, I would talk to my uncle about all types of things. That included my frequent frustrations with courts and prosecutors.

It is from that foundation that I will say that there may be a "delay" and there may not be one. It is only speculation for you or I to say if there is or is not a delay. At very best, we can only say that we think there may -- or may not -- be a delay. However, what I have said is that the DOJ does have a policy of not doing high-profile indictments close to election time. Hence, no matter if you or I agree with that policy in general or specific to this case, I think you several times asked question has indeed been answered. That is one possibility.

The other possibility -- regarding the federal grand jury -- has been mentioned below, in detail. Again, none of us know for sure. We can only speculate. It is only speculation to say there is or is not a delay. Catching organized crime is even more difficult than cows, pigs, or chickens. I'd even put it above catching Guinea fowl.
